Funds needed for Alina!!!! (Graphic warning⚠️)

Kitties that suffer accidents are some of the more intense cases that we handle. We want to talk about one that especially moves us.

Alina is a cat that Jerome brought in after a kind feeder in Versova Village alerted him after she was hit by a vehicle. The driver shockingly fled the scene. Scared after being injured, Alina kept hiding from people trying to help her. She was eventually caught by Jerome and brought to The Feline Foundation for treatment.

Once Alina was here, Dr. Alisha with the help of vet assistant Ajay did a full physical examination. She has a wound on her eye, which has completely ruptured. The blood and gunk in the area has dried up. Inside it, there is an infection due to which pus and a severe maggot infestation is also present. She also has a fractured upper and lower jaw which is also misaligned. The inside of Alina’s mouth is also unclean and has pus. Alina is also dehydrated and has severe cold. 😞

Our vets immediately began cleaning and dressing Alina’s wounds, removed maggots, gave her antibiotics for the cold and painkillers. We admitted Alina in our hospital ward, where she will stay for several weeks if not months. We are currently assessing and monitoring Alina until she stabilises enough but our vets want to eventually do an eye extirpation for her injured eye as well as a jaw rewiring surgery to help her jaw heal correctly.

Alina has a long journey of recovery ahead of her. Accidents like hers are unfortunately not uncommon and can change the course of a cat’s life, safety must be practiced especially in the monsoons when cats may hide under cats or bikes for shelter as it can save many kitties.

We are raising funds for Alina. An amount of Rs. 41300/- will completely cover her medical care, surgery and stay. If you can donate, please use the link in our bio or donate using the QR code in the last slide.

Thank you. 💕

Funds needed for Gudiya!!!

Rehana is a feeder that looks after and feeds a litter of cats near Andheri Station Road. One of the cats, Gudiya, had not shown up for a few days when Rehana went to feed them. Luckily, Rehana found her hiding in a corner. Worried that she is not eating, Rehana took her to a veterinary clinic where they on ultrasound detected a mass and some free fluid between Gudiya's liver, spleen and stomach but were unsure of its origin. They suggest immediate removal, however due to lack of funds and consistent vet visits, Rehana brought Gudiya to The Feline Foundation for help.

Our vets checked Gudiya’s reports from her previous vet visits, did a full physical examination and found out that she has not eaten since the past 6 days, she is also icteric, meaning she is affected by jaundice. All of which seem to be caused due to the mass.

The exact origin of the mass is not known, so considering Gudiya's condition our vets want to do an exploratory Laparotomy - a tricky surgery but also Gudiya’s best chance at getting better as the mass is already affecting her. Rehana cannot afford to bear the expenses of the surgery but we are not willing to give up on Gudiya. That is why we have admitted her to our hospital ward pro bono, where she will stay with us for several weeks and be closely monitored. We want to schedule her surgery as soon as we can in order to avoid potential complications.

Here's how you can help! We are raising funds for Gudiya. An amount of Rs. 24,900 will fully cover the cost of her surgery, medical care and stay. If you can donate, please scan the code in the last slide or use the link in our bio. Please reshare the post for better reach.

Bob is a beloved community cat that Urvashi, a feeder primarily takes care of. During monsoons, she would take him into her house. He would usually only stay indoors for a few hours, but sleep overnight during rains. One day he came back limping and was refusing food or water. He would just hide in a corner of her house 😔. Urvashi noticed a wound on his abdomen.

Urvashi called an ambulance to take Bob for treatment and he ran away 😞. He showed up days later for food. When Urvashi saw his wound again, she realised it is deep. Desperate for help, she reached out to her community for help. They managed to connect with one of our supporters who then helped in directing Urvashi and Bob to The Feline Foundation.

Once he was here, our vets examined Bob. He has a deep pocket wound near his hind leg. The origin of his wound is unknown. Dr. Aditya with the help of vet assistant Himmat, immediately started cleaning and dressing his wound and started antibiotics. They took a blood test which thankfully came out normal.

Bob was admitted to our hospital ward where he will stay with us for at least a month as he waits for his wound to heal. Our vets are hopeful that in some time, we can suture his wound to facilitate faster healing.

Bob is skittish and adjusting to his new surroundings but loves to chat away at us. We hope with time we get to see his true personality 🥺. Urvashi frequently comes to meet him and checks for updates.

We are incredibly grateful to the community we have. Because of them, Bob can get the help he needs and have a safe environment to recover in. We may not be able to help every cat but we do our best to help as many cats from our project areas as we can ♥️.

We are raising funds to cover Bob’s treatment. An amount of Rs. 32,200 will fully fund his medical care and stay. If you can donate for him, please use the link in our bio or scan the QR code on the last slide.

Thank you. 💕

This International Cat Day was very specia!!!

As organisations focused on caring for stray and community cats, the International Cat Day is extremely important to us. Cats are such an underserved species in our city and the issues they face are always on the rise. So we had to take a weekend to celebrate them, we wanted to do something special and yet impactful for our kitties.

This weekend was just that. Cat Café Studio became the host of this celebration. From painting with the kitties and seminars for vet students on feline health, to two nights of talented drag artists showcasing their art to honour cats, we had activities for everyone to come and enjoy themselves in. And to top it off, there were pop-up stalls including ours! We were there both days raising awareness about stray and community cat welfare and selling cute cat themed merch to raise funds to help more kitties out.

And those of us at The Feline Foundation didn’t stop there, we hosted not one but two Carer Collectives! We have been reaching out to feeders from Veera Desai and Azad Nagar to come and meet with us and learn how to get involved in the sterilisation programs we are conducting in the areas. We had eventful discussion, sharing data regarding the cat population in the areas, how to catch cats in their areas to bring for sterilisation, or alert us about them so that our catchers can catch them, and our founder Charu and executive director Pallavi took the time to solve some doubts from the feeders present.

We want to thank everyone that came to support us, whether at the celebration or the Carer Collectives. The community we have been able to build around us is a major reason why we can make the impact we can and we hope to have your continued support.

Thank you. ❤️

Meet our newest rescue, Miku!!!!

Please read to find out how she got her name!

It is cases like Miku’s that put into perspective how important community involvement is in helping and enriching lives of our stray and community cats. Miku was found by Tej during a TNR visit to Gaondevi after kind local feeders alerted him about a cat that seemed to have met with an accident and was injured. She was not letting anyone get close enough to her to get help but as a catcher, Tej was able to pick her up and bring her here to The Feline Foundation for help.

Upon arriving, Dr. Hariom with the help of vet assistant Rahul examined Miku. She seemed to be unable to use her hind legs properly and drags herself with her front legs when she attempts to walk. Our vets did an ortho-neuro preliminary workup and have ruled out fracture from the x-ray. However, there is probable nerve damage from the trauma she suffered.

Our vets are doing the necessary treatments for Miku and assessing her. Depending on how her condition progresses, she may require physiotherapy to facilitate further recovery. We are watching her day by day hoping she can recover from the nerve damage.

Miku is not as used to humans and also going through so much that she is taking her time to process everything. We hope with time and care she will slowly settle in. The best part is when we discovered her meow - she literally meows ‘Miku’ like she is saying her own name 🥺

It is all thanks to the community we have around us that we found her. And we call upon our community to help her once again. We are raising funds for Miku. An amount of Rs. 55,250 will fully fund Miku’s care, treatment, stay and physiotherapy.

Here’s how you can help!
